78.98Apply it to “The Bare Necessities”
For a playful jazzier section:
keep the melody clear.
Under held/repeated notes, move inner voices chromatically.
For a comic “dark” moment:
major upper voice can descend by semitone into minor/borrowed color.
Then resolve with very simple bright voicing.
Again, small inner movement can create large character changes.
